johnymous Adult Swim is notorious for producing and airing all sorts of terrible material for the sake of getting a kick out of trolling television viewers. A practice that continues years after the cessation of the broadcast of 12 oz. Mouse. That said, 12 Oz. Mouse remains particularly memorable for me as one of the worst things I have ever bothered watching.Fans argue the show has depth and meaning and that its humor is an acquired taste.......Color me blind for not seeing it.Terribly animated.Terrible voice acting.If any of the characters had any semblance of personality (they don't) they would all possess the personality of someone who spends all of their free time smoking marijuana.This show is about as humorous as elevator music...elevator music that isn't even played ironically. And that's pretty much the entire soundtrack with the exception of the theme song.On a related note, I do admit that the opening theme was amazing. What followed was just total nonsense.
mattiasflgrtll6 What can I say? I decided to check this show out because it was the co-creator of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", even though I after seeing a few preview clips thought "meh". Still, I had to see a whole episode and the pilot was surprisingly funny, if only for the odd and unusual brand of humor it possessed. Not every episode is great, but with the exception of "Auraphull" (HATED that episode), you'll never be bored. You'll have to accept the very slow tempo though, took a couple of episodes for me to get used to it. The dialogue is very simple and it's more often you laugh at the delivery of it rather than the lines themselves. Not very many TV-series is like that. I also like the characters, most of all the stoned cop who keeps laughing after every sentence and the rectangular guy, who you "recognize by his rectangularness". The only disappointment is that it's not as funny as its counterpart "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", though that is easily made up with a very unclear, but still continuing plot. It's not laugh-out-loud that often, but I still can't seem to help but keep myself hooked on it after every episode. And for such a goofball of a show like this, it's quite an accomplishment.
spharktasm 12 oz mouse is an animated TV show about a mouse that suddenly awakes in a different reality, a place where everything is twisted and hostile. Through the episodes, Fitz remembers he once had a family and a job, but he was ripped from that life "for reasons he doesn't understand". As the series progresses, we discover more elements of the mystery surrounding our green mouse and we get to know what are the true intentions of each character inside that alternative reality.More or less, that's what you would find in 12 oz mouse; of course it isn't as simple as it may sound because the show actually involves you to figure out the underlying plot as it introduces new concepts in each episode. Besides what I already mentioned, ozmo has enough space for comedy (mainly based on the dialogues), nice music, lots of action scenes, and well-developed characters. All those elements make 12 oz mouse feel more like a cinematographic experience rather than just a regular cartoon.
Julio Perez Shows like this don't come along often enough. Its so offbeat and irrelevant that you will either hate it or love it. Chronicling the adventures of Fitz the drunken, belligerent, shiftless mouse and his trusty friend Skillet (who appears to be a chinchilla), 12 Oz Mouse manages to make the most nonsensical situations into comedic gold. You never know what to expect from Fitz. The episodes have no clear cut storyline or destination. At any given time he can go from an in depth discussion about corndog farming into a 4 minute shootout with an unknown enemy. This could be followed up by a 2 minute drum solo by Skillet if need be. The only tie between any two episodes is the constant search for alcohol and the conspiracy theory surrounding Fitz and the possible kidnapping of his family. If you're looking for a show with beginning, middle and end, this ain't it. But if you're looking for punchline-less laughs, 12 Oz is where you'll find em. This is the most addictive show to hit Adult Swim since Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The crude animation style and slow pace make it a perfect compliment to the sharp design and quick delivery of ATHF. Hopefully OzMo will remain a staple of the Adult Swim lineup.
